Do You Buy Local and/or Made in America?

[Indian Charlie]

I don't think, to me, that where a product is made is what really matter.

I say this because I try as much as possible to avoid products made by American owned companies.

Especially when it comes to automotive and electronics.

American owned companies truly are out to screw consumers.

We take apart laptops and other electronics every day and I can say without any doubt that certain American owned companies design and engineer products to fail.

Same goes with cars. A friend of ours at my computer shop got a GMC truck a couple of years ago, brand new. Within six months, he had more rust on his truck that I do on my 1995 Volvo sedan.

Though, come to think of it, Japanese steel used in cars is atrocious quality as well.

Apple, Dell, HP, all the big auto makers, they are just the start of a list I could compile.
